Les Terres Fines de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut NV Dhondt-Grellet

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

Wafting from the glass with aromas of honeyed orchard fruits, freshly baked bread and frangipane, Dhondt's NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Les Terres Fines (2019) is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a satiny attack and a deep, seamless mid-palate that's girdled by racy acids. Penetrating and precise, it's already beautifully integrated only shortly after disgorgement.

Tasted blind in a comparison of champagne and English sparkling wine. 2016 base wine. 100% Chardonnay.
Pretty pale. Lightly nutty nose, some autolysis and apple skin with nice balance and interest. Champagne? Medium persistence. Not showy – a dark horse?
